Adam and I took a road trip to Nazareth late this morning in the truck with the snowblower secured in the back to open mom's driveway up. In addition, since Jamie and John with kids in tow are enjoying the balmy Florida weather this week, they needed to have their walks shoveled and car dug out and cleaned off.
We left around 11 am and encountered some pretty snowy, drifted roads:


Thank goodness for the snowblower....anyone having to shovel that driveway would have been there forever! It's good to know, for the future, that it wasn't that difficult to get it in the back of the truck.
Mom's lovely neighbor beneath her had someone shovel her car out; the &$!%* idiot shoveled ALL the snow on the top of her driveway!! So on top of the 10-12 inches already there the goofball added to it! None of us were happy about that!
As we were driving into town, Adam says, "I never see garbage trucks collecting garbage in Nazareth...I wonder when they do it?" I responded, suggesting they most likely do it in the middle of the night, which would be why he never sees them. Ironically, when we had to go around the block and went up the alley by mom's house....what did we get behind?!?! And couldn't pass?!?!!? The garbage truck!

This is the view looking towards Broad St. That's Jamie's porch to the right. Adam's off in the distance closing up the back of the truck to move it from where he parked it momentarily to get the snow blower off the back. (Notice the new parking meter IN FRONT of Jamie and John's house...everyone on the street is very unhappy that they have added three meters on the street...all because the jeweler at the end of the street complained that her customers have no where to park. It apparently doesn't matter that they have now placed them in a residential area of town. And it's not so nice for Jamie who now can not park by her house.)

Starting to open the driveway:


Note mom sticking her head out the door:

See how deep the snow was?!!?


Cici was waiting to say hello when we came in to take a break:

And to have lunch:

They were still cleaning up the snow on our way home!
